Occasional Dusting With Slug Shot Destroys Cabbage Worms 
Cabbage 
Always be sure that your Cabbage seed is grown from well-formed, selected heads. The ground should be a 
heavy, moist, rich loam, highly manured, deeply dug or plowed and thoroughly worked. For early plants sow in 
mid-September, and protect in coldframes through the Winter. The more common way is to sow in hotbeds in 
February or March, and prick out into coldframes, to be transplanted, when danger of frost is past. Early va¬ 
rieties should set 18 inches by 2 feet. Fall and Winter sorts 28 inches apart each way. The late Autumn and Win¬ 
ter varieties may be sown in a seed bed, from the middle to close of Spring, and 
transplanted when about 6 inches high. Shade and water in dry weather. See that 
the plants stand thinly in the seed bed; if they come up thick, prick them out into beds 
4 to 6 inches apart. They can then be moved with earth attached, on a moist day, 
without damage. Transplant just at evening, giving each plant water at the root. 
M akes Seeds Healthy Hoe every week more deeply as they advance, drawing up a little more earth each 
time, until they begin to head, when they should be fairly dug between and hilled up. 
One ounce of seed will produce about 3,000 
plants.
